You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Determine the x and y intercepts (if any) of the given equation, then plot the intercepts, and graph the line.
1. 56+7y=0
Solve for y:
y = -8
x-intercept: there is none
y-intercept: (0,-8)
Draw the graph which is a line parallel to the x-axis
passing thru all the points where y = -8.
--------------------------
2. y=x-7
x-intercept: Let y = 0, then x = 7 giving you (7,0)
y-intercept: Let x = 0, then y = -7 giving you (0,-7)
Using the two points, draw the graph of the equation.
